I understand what you mean , But my guess is that Poland (and probably most Eastern European countries) are countries that these new found boating enthusiasts actively avoid . ;)

This is what happens when one of the worlds oldest (and in the past) very prestigious car manufacturers pushes a steel screw through a hole drilled in aluminium that they know full well will be exposed to all sorts of 'weather' . :doh: Heat and violence are your friends in this fight. I have...

ID cards in the UK would most likely immediately be contracted out (probably to a foreign supplier , China anyone ? ) and instantly cost too much and be open to fraud just as every other type of ID is . We can't even seem to keep our new 'fool proof' (and overpriced stamps) safe from forgers...

Ah , I see . The youngster I know just applied for the proof of age 'ID card' thingy.

22mph in a 20 mph zone is a serious offence , 72 mph on a motorway is not even a 'thing' . Moral of the story ? Don't drive in Wales. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Yup , my neighbours 2 daughters got their licences as soon as they could (one of them just a month ago) but 2 'lads' I know , one 21 the other 23 just do not seem interested . The 21 yr old would get an instant £5400/yr pay rise if he had a licence without actually having to even drive a company...

Have you checked the 4 rubber bushings holding the steering rack to the front subframe ? 🤷‍♂️ They vary , but look a bit like this . This Stuttgart trained master mechanic explains it in simple terms . Enjoy the backing track

Getting a driver's licence at 17 is a rite of passage for kids, even if they don't want to drive for another ten years..... Not sure about that , I know more that a few in their late teens or early 20's who have absolutely no interest in getting a drivers licence , and they do not live in a big...

Thats why I'm not messing with it , if I have a puncture and the collapsible spare fails I will just have to come up with another plan on the day .

If you have to lose some oil when changing the filter , just catch in a very clean receptacle and pour it back in the engine.

Got one in my C55 , I inflated it to see if it was OK , all good 👍 , put it back in it's place hoping never to need it . It's 17 years old .

If you have a filter that changes from the top of the engine then , yes. If you are doing this just to cut the old filter up to insect for 'glitter' Remember the new filter should come with new 'O' rings.

This is the plug that leaks , quite cheap and simple to replace before you start buying and fitting a conductor plate...

TCU unit behind this plate in passenger footwell, pop it out and have a VERY close look/smell of the plugs that go into the unit . ATF can track up via capillary action inside the conductors , that is between the copper strands and the insulation they are in .

What were the shavings made of ? were they a brass colour , steel , aluminium ? Sounds like it's in limp mode . Clutch pack(s) could be worn out ,bad pressure pump , TC bad , shavings in the labyrinth stopping solenoids operating properly ? Just to be clear . You have been driving like this...

God's waiting room ?

So BLOODY OBVIOUS !......once explained :D I wonder how many vehicle out there are rolling around with the flexdisc in the wrong way around ? Lesson learned , certainly one to keep an eye on . result Rusty 👍
